There have been mobile gaming pads in the past, all with a recurring theme: they suck. The XEG Mobile Gaming Pad, on the other hand, has a sharp design and excellent form factor — and might even induce me to play a game on a cellphone one day. The controller is arranged like a basic gaming pad, the D-pad on the left and 4 buttons on the right. The XEG doesn't stop there, though. The controller also features L and R triggers and 2 buttons on the bottom called MODE and END. It'll need to be powered by two AAA batteries, but after that just slap in a compatible phone, load up your game, and play away. This is the kind of excellent controller that would work well with games like Afterburner, Mech Assault, and uh, Bejeweled.
